It's International Women's Day, so when you see people zooming by on electric scooters, I remember Lady Norman and her autoped. She was a suffragist who insisted on being mobile without manly "protection" :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priscilla_Norman
(UPDATE: Yes, many men in the replies. The autoped used a combustion engine, I know. My post is however NOT about the autoped, it's about the woman standing on it. I know, that's really hard for some of you to deal with. :)

Have you heard of Sarah Moore Grimké, born on this date in 1792? I hadn’t until a few years ago, which is a shame. A wise woman of compassion, courage, & conviction, she & her sister, Angelina, born into a wealthy family of enslavers in Charleston, SC, were far ahead of their time (as was Angelina’s husband, Theodore Weld). And in many respects, given recent appalling developments, also far ahead of our own…

"To me, as a child, men & women fell into 2 great divisions:
Those who had #Gardens & those who had only houses.To the fancy of childhood, a #Garden was paradise... w/ green leaves & blue sky overhead, & #Blossoms;
...while those others, dispossessed of life's springs, summers, & autumns, appeared darkly entombed in shops & parlors where the year might as well have been a perpetual #Winter.
